Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 459

Chapter 459: Be more mindful with kids

Gabriel carefully set the massive encyclopedia onto the heavy oak table in his study. He stood back, dusting his hands off with a sharp clap. "I wonder if it contains anything at all related to Aurevalis," he murmured.

He knew he would have to dedicate significant time to reading the book, but checking on Amelie and Noah was his immediate priority.

Locking the double doors of the study, he secured the key deep in his trouser pocket and headed toward the royal chambers. To his surprise, they were empty.

"Your Highness, little prince is with the Alpha King and Queen. While Lady Amelie has gone to drop Miss Flora to the guest room," Ashna informed him.

"Alright." Gabriel quickly changed course and headed for Raidan and Mabel’s manor.

He found them both in the comfortable, sunlit sitting room, happily enjoying the early evening. Noah was perched between them on the sofa, babbling happily.

"Look who’s here!" Raidan said warmly, glancing at Gabriel, who quickly crossed the room to greet both his parents with respect.

"Pa!" Noah’s eyes instantly lit up. He began excitedly kicking his little arms and legs while still nestled between his grandfather.

"Did he sleep well?" Gabriel asked, his gaze fixed on his son.

"He slept for a good hour," Mabel answered, her expression soft. "And Gabriel, your in-laws have arrived too."

"Yes, I found out," Gabriel confirmed, extending his arms for his son.

"Go to your father," Mabel said warmly, carefully transferring Noah into Gabriel’s strong, familiar embrace.

"I’ll take my leave then," Gabriel said, offering a grateful nod to his parents before walking out of the manor and into the connecting corridor. Noah’s little hands instantly explored Gabriel’s face, one tiny palm resting against his cheek, while Gabriel supported his small back.

"Pa," Noah called out again, a soft, happy sound.

"Yes, boy?" Gabriel asked, his voice tender.

Noah answered with a bright smile, promptly bringing his thumb up to his mouth and beginning to suck on it contentedly.

As Gabriel walked down the long corridor, he unexpectedly encountered Katelyn.

"Noah!" Katelyn exclaimed in genuine delight, her face lighting up. The boy simply looked at her with calm, curious eyes, not reacting much to her outburst.

"Don’t suck your thumb, little prince," she whispered playfully, gently guiding Noah’s tiny hand away from his mouth. She then leaned in and lightly pinched his cheek, smiling brightly.

The pinch, however, was enough to startle him, and Noah immediately began to cry.

"Why did he suddenly start crying?" Katelyn panicked, her eyes wide with fear that Gabriel would scold her.
